Roosevelt Severely Criticized for his Treatment of the Southern Negro—R. T. Greener Opposes Roosevelt—Social and Personal Notes. BY CARY B. LEWIS. (Freeman Bureau, 3000 State Street, Telephone Aldine 2058, Automatic 72-384.) (CHICAGO, ILL., Special, Oct. 15, 1912.) Chicago seems to be the center of political discussion. Upon the platform, in church corners, all one can hear express street corners, all one can hear is politics. The chief medium for express an opinion has been the newspaper. Phil D. Brown is located at the church, giving reasons why Taft should be elected. At the Democratic headquarters, the Baker hotel, a busy scene, where Wilson literature is mailed daily, and A. W. Wilson holds the position of the Laurel hotel, giving reasons why Roosevelt should be the winner. The greatest political stroke of the week was the address of the brilliant and charismatic A. M. E. Church Review, published at Philadelphia, Fa., and the founder of the Institutional Church and Social Settlement for colored people of Chicago. Rev. Ransom held a symposium at one of the churches of his connection on Sunday morning, but said he chose to speak at Institutional church which he had founded, a platform upon which was leader or thinker to express an opinion. While the Rev. Ransom took for his theme a chapter in the Bible, he confined his subject to the breaking up of the church, which he thought the church was comfortably filled with a number of Chicago's most representative citizens. He was introduced by Rev. A. Carey, pastor of the church. After Ransom's work of the church, he said in part. "Col. Roosevelt is trying to win the South at the expense of the Negro. He has closed 'the door of hope' and bisected 'the deal' for the Negro, in flat contradiction with his platform. For the first time in American politics, he has attempted to array the northern Negro against the southern Negro. Negro vote where it is free and to exclude it where it will win him white support. "Mr. Roosevelt would have us believe that he is following in the footsteps of Lincoln. Let us see: Lincoln emancipated the Negro, and Negro vote upon his act the blessing of the Almighty God and the considerate judgment of mankind. Roosevelt has delivered us unto political slavery, and invoked upon his the consideration of Mr. Julian Harris, the consideration of the southern Negro and the patient of the Negroes to their political thraldom. When Lincoln would save the nation, he armed himself to fight for the preservation of the Union. He would save the nation, he declares threaten its destruction, he would disarm the Negro of the ballot, he only effective weapon with which he must either for the salvation of his country or protection. "Lincoln as a man of the northern lineage, knew that the South left to itself, would never emancipate the slaves and resisted extension of the borders of slavery. Roosevelt man of southern lineage, knows that the South will never voluntarily put the ballot in the negro hands and will seek everywhere for exclusion from participation in the government of he proclaims the one and invites the other." "Knowing Mr. Roosevelt's personality as we do, we predict that in the event of the present contest for the Presidency beating into congress, he will bring this nation to the forefront of civil war, will cause such social and political disorder as to pave the way which he seems plan. Roosevelt is not our 'man-on-board,' he walks in the robes of a priest of righteousness to disguise his purpose, to seize the reins of the seats of power." The political situation here is becoming as acute among the colored voters that the president is facing. Knox publisher of the Indianapolis Freeman, and men will be called to Chicago for a conference in behalf of William Howard Tatt, or otherwise, Mr. Knox is always a well-known City, and when the Y. M. C. A. building dedicated will be among the prominent champions on that occasion. While here he will be the guest of his sister, Miss Alice Harvey, State street, and will also attend a Chicago dinner in his honor by the Chicago correspondent. --- Mr. Jas. A. Ross, who has charge of the western bureau, at 3312 Wabash avenue will leave the last of the week for Buffalo, N. Y., returning by way of Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis. While Mr. Ross is away the headquarters will be in charge of Cary B. Lewis, who is at the head of the publicity department. ```markdown ``` Another one of the big political surges of the past week or so was the announcement that the Hon. Richard T. Greener, the man in charge of the race, would not support Roosevelt. Man in this country is more bitter against the "man-on-horseback" than Mr. Greener, who is known far and wide as a brilliant, studious and convincing campaigner. heard in many sections of the West, delivering speeches against Roosevelt, who, he claims, is a "betrayer of the race." The Upsilior Delta Pi Sorority began their first meeting of the year at the home of the Misses Ada Lou and Ethel Mitchell. The young debutantes are planning to give very swell functions during the social season. Col. J. H. Lewis, of New Orleans, La., one of the most estimable citizens of this republic, a soldier of the civil war and a man who has been honored by several Presidents of the United States with federal jobs, is in the city, the guest of Col. and Mrs. John R. Marshall, 3632 Calumet avenue. The Assembly Club has issued invitations for their social affairs during the coming season. The first be an invitation to the second and third affairs will be formal: one New Year's night and the other Easter Monday night. Another is planned for the summer. All will be given at the Oakland Music Hall, Fortieth and octtage Grove avenue. The Navarre Club has issued invitations for a Halloweeen dancing party. The Halloween night at Oakland Music Hall. The corporate count of the Music Hall will wishes to thank Mr. William Kelly in advance for two complimentary tickets. It is understood that a very large number be present on that evening, for the Navarre Club's popular of the younger clubs in the city. Miss Adele Forrest has been employed as one of the extra clerks at the western office of the bureau, and is in the department of Miss Harriet Slater. The work of both is very satisfactory to the chairman of the bureau. As the work grows heavier competent people will be put to work. --- Mr. Julius F. Taylor, editor of the Broadax, celebrated his "steenth" birthday a few days ago, and was tendered a delicious dinner by his admirable wife, Elizabeth, who was the fixture in the city of Chicago and edits one of the most fearless and ablest newspapers in the country. Attorney Wm. G. Anderson won another noted case in the Criminal Court last week. Harry Frank was on trial before Judge Winds for pandering, and was discharged on a writ of habeas corpus. It was one of the fiercest battles in the Court's three-season. Lawyer Anderson had the bitter opposition of Assistant States Attorneys Jas. A. Scott and A. Hoopheimer. Attorney Anderson almost baffled the court by reciting other cases bearing the same name. The judge of the name and address of the owner of the house in which it was said that Frank had placed the girl was a strong point. Attorney Anderson delivered a habeas corpus on behalf of his client and on the habeas corpus proceedings he was dismissed. --- Among the many distinguished visitors in Chicago this week was the Hon. John D. Cooke, editor of the Wisconsin Defense Journal, who fended seven years ago and his paper has been published continuously ever since. It carries a fresh line of news matter weekly, is ably edited and from the most prosperous and healthy condition. Being a broad and liberal newspaper man, he paid his respects to the Wilson and Marshall headquarters, chatting a few moments with his fellow-craftsmen, Jas. A. Ross and Cary B. Lewis.

Mr. and Mrs. Gene Turner are visiting relatives in Little Rock, Ark, indefinitely. It is with much regret to those of the race, who think, when it is the only ability to have that the unrelatively a reason. We see causes every day that will help solve the problem. If the toilers were given more chances to better their conditions, especially in the more critical cases, we would be greater in the number of them make good in all the different callings of life. Let us help the workers in every way we can, and by so doing not only help the moral status of our community but elevate and improve the quality of life.

Too many people in the race have been harm'd in the power of the race, and cannot be of much service to the man who prefers to loaf in the future. We are all the better to do so. We are boosters and not knockers, and by so doing we can better the toilers' condition. . .

THANKS NEGRO PRESS FOR LOYALTY TO REPUBLICAN CAUSE All Elements of the Republican Party are Uniting as Election Approaches—Echoes from Dewey's Threat to Disfranchise the Northern Negro. (By Phil H. Brown, Assistant Director of Publicity, National Republican Committee.) Mr. Scott's Letter. On behalf of the Republican national committee, I wish to extend sincere thanks to the colored press of the nation for the loyal and unselfish support they have given the Republican ticket in the campaign now drawing to a close. I know the preposition in front of bear to bear upon the publishers of these papers to desert their party. I know that many of them have resisted this pressure when it meant a heavy financial sacrifice, which this committee has not been able to bear. It is good. All the more honor is due, therefore; and I want to assure each and every one of them of my deep personal appreciation of the valiant sight they have in the added respect and confidence in the ple they serve and in the knowledge that they have helped to wi n the splendid victory that is sure to come. CHAS. P. SCOTT, Director of Publicity, Republican National Committee. CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 17—Out of the dense clouds of gloom occasioned by the attempted assassination of Colonel Roosevelt, this memorable campaign emerges with this misguided aim to the end. As Mr. Roosevelt says in his book, men, but of principles, and the sinister incident should not affect its conclusions in the slightest degree. The assault upon the Roosevelt was the outcropings of a disordered, ill-fated, tail, which might as easily have been directed against President Taft or Professor Wilson, and has no political significance in the morbid and the ghoulish would attempt to manipulate manifestation in the interest of any party. It is an fortunate incident that is nationally deplored, but ought not to one iota of political profit to any man or one iota of political profit to any man the same. The issues remain the same. . . . We it not for her gentle sex, we would like to call Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett the "Old Roman" of racial endeavor and accomplishment within the range of témoinage, within the range of témoinage, speaking of such a delightful lady. Even so, we fear in referring to her so many finished fights for racial advancement and vindication and her brilliant victories and bravery that we have to turn backward in its flight and face an admit that in things done Mrs. Barnett is truly a veteran, but in doing things she has the spirit of a debatante with the chaperone. Mrs. Barnett predeceased the Woman's party of Cook county (Inc.) in the college room of the Hotel La Salle, last Sunday afternoon and discussed the cago Inter-Ocean said concerning Mrs. Taft. The Chl Barnett and her address. "Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, president of the Colored Women's Club and lecturer on two continents for the Negro race, was the speaker. Mrs. Esther Falkenstein, of the Falkenstein Settlement House, presided. "The Republican party gave the country Abraham Lincoln and the best years of its history, said Mrs. Barnett. Before of these years, said Mrs. Barnett, we had been wavering in hundred years and hoped rapidly. The Republican party made the declaration of independence a real and vital thing, and we should support it for the future of history and because not until it came did this country really become a republic." "Mrs. Barnett was severe in her condemnation of Roosevelt's attitude toward the Negro, and declared the Negro feels its his duty to preserve the Republican party that has done so much for him and for the country. She said that after bringing on himself the wrath of the 'Southern gentleman' for entertaining Booker T. Washington, 'He had to do something to take away the bad taste,' and to accomplish this he dishonorably discharged three companies of Negro troops after the Brownsville affair when they would not and could not accuse each other." "The suffrage cause would not be a vital issue with the Progressive leader," she continued, "were it not for the fact that the women of six states have the vote." . . . Echoes and re-echoes of Chamouny Dewey's threat to disfranchise the Northern Negro are being heard all over Chicago. The Brindle Bull Moosers are at waterfront, where means is chatting its wide publicity. That Mr. Dewey, who is the most prominent Progressive in the West, with the exception of Hiram Johnson, of California, should oppose copper-headed threat against the Northern groes is of surpassing significance. But up to this very hour Mr. Dewey has not denied it. Hon. Nelson Crews, of Kansas City, Mo., who has been doing yeoman service on the hustings for the Republican party, was compelled to cancel a number of dates on account of the death of his Moosers. Mr. Crews will return to the headquarters Monday. 2. ; = Jack Frost is i Approaching & XK) With his white mantle of snow.

JACOB WOESSNER, Sheriff Marion County. , FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAF ee A BOOK OF FACTS AND FIGURES.| flee SST i “A Book of Facts and Figures,” by Cyrus Field Adams, is being circulated in the interest of the Republican party. It has to do with the Negro in his rela- tion to the Republican party, the ob- ject being mainly to prove that the administration is friendly to the race. In the foreword it. says: “It is a remarkable fact that the number of Afro-American government employes has increased 60 per cent. in the three and one-half years of the ‘Taft administration, and the aggregate annual pay has increased from $8,000, 000 in 1908 to nearly $12,500,000. in 1912, an increase of 55 per cent. Ver- ily, the Taft administration stands for a square deal in deeds, not words.” ‘The publication has value abéve that of merely a campaign document. It gives considerable attention to the his- tory of the party in its relation to the Negro from the Civil War on down to the present day. After showing that the war was waged in the interest of the race, a long list of names is given of individuals, Negroes, who were borne to the front by the Republican tides of victory from time to time. Douglass, Bruce, Langston, Dunn, Pinchback, Rainey, Revels, Lewis, De- laney, Smalls, lights of the race, are referred to as men having been hon- ored in their day. ‘The good work con- tinues. Others have followed, and of no less merit and distinction, proving that the Republican party is pre-emi- nently the party of the colored man. The present administration is set forth in the publication as being quite as active in behalf of the Negroes as the foregoing ones, if not more so. President Taft’s various expressions touching on the race, and convincing enough of his attitude to those who are willing to believe what they read. President Taft is praised for his ex- cellent Americanism as displayed by ‘@ never-tiring zeal to advance the coun- try’s interest. Here follow epitomized statements of the activities and expressions of the President which cannot be successful- ly contradicted: He is a man of the people; his pub- lic record is clean, and he stands for policies which mean the continued Progress of the Nation. The Afro-Americans of the United States have a friend in Mr. Taft. He has shown his interest in so many ways. He inherited his open sympathy for the race from his father, Judge Alphonso Taft, than whom the Afro- American never had a better friend. President Taft stands for the en- forcement of the war amendments. He says he believes “that equal justice to all men and the fair and impartial en- forcement of these amendments are in keeping with the real American spirit of fair play.” President Taft gave his active sup- port to the Maryland Republicans when they were opposing the attempts of the Democrats in that State to disfranchise the Afro-American citizens, and some credit for the defeat of the nefarious scheme should be accorded to him. President Taft has vigorously de- nounced lynching. In many public ut- terances he has called it cowardly mur- der. In a recent address he said that “the men engaged in pulling the rope, under those conditions, shall them- selves swing by the rope.” President Taft has done much toward obliterating the foul practice of peonage or involuntary slavery so com- mon in the Southern Democratic States, President Taft stands for the higher education of the Afro-American, He has given Howard University his en: thusiastic personal and official support. He has publicly stated his belief that higher education is essential to the full development of the race. A few years ago Mr. Taft was ap- pointed a trustee of the Jeannes fund for the education of the poor Afro- Americans in the country districts of the South, and his acceptance of the trust is an evidence of his sympathy for the poor and dewn-trodden.

'Round thee I stand enthralled in pain- fu sorrow; Thou givst to me no happiness nor mirth, What worldly pleasures can I from thee borrow? How dream, how dismal, thou dost look within, Naked and bare with nothing to adorn Thy cold and clayey sides, which soon begin To shroud death's victim from the sight of morn. However long man's life, howe'er well 'tis spent In aiding others through the arduous strife. He'll sit in the thea a godly haven sent. For him who ends the earthly walks of life. Why dost man fear the passage through thy gate, Whatinds him to his final resting place? Is it because at sometime, soon or late, He has to meet his Saviour face to face? Is it because of duttes left undone, He proves a coward in the waging fight? Nor on thou must the victry will be won, For some bright day whi follow each dark night. Oh gravy, man's carnate form is left with thee for rest. Upon winged hopes the soul of him is given To that fair land with righteousness so sweet promised land, God's kingdom, and God's heaven. —Thornton H. Kelley. 321 East Main Street, Columbus, Ohio. WITH THE "FOURTH ESTATE." What the Sentiment-Moulders of the Race Are Doing for the Uplift (By One of Them.) The "boys" will all be on hand at Philadelphia next August. It is again stated that Washington, D. C., is to have a new race paper. The National Negro Press Association is here to stay. Make a note of it, brethren! W. A. Peete ("Old Hickory") is writing some gilt-edged feature letters for the Dallas Express. Blackmailing journals live because of the peculiar trait of humanity that makes a fellow like to see some one else get a "roasting." The Star, published at Winston-Salem, N. C, has been named, J. N. Brown, formerly of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, is the editor of the Star. Local branches of the National Press Association should be organized wherever they are now or more Negro papers, or a number of correspondents and printing establishments. Rev. J. E. Wood, editor of the Danville (Ky). Torch Light, has been re-elected national grand chief of the Order of Good Samaritans. The session was held at McKeesport, Pa., in August. The Old Fellows' Journal is to be demoted from Washington back to Philadelphia, but the daughter will be re-elected by the sub-chairman of management at its next meeting. The newspaper man is enjoying his innings just now. He is indispensable to church, school, lodge, the drama, to political parties and to individuals. It behooves everybody to treat him with due consideration. All editors, correspondents, etc., are asked to read these notes and to make such comments as they may think helpful. This department goes on journalism. This department will appear in the Freeman from time to time. The Amsterdam News, less than three years old, claims to have the largest circulation of any Negro paper in New York City. It prints upwards of 20,000 copies. J. H. Anderson is business manager, and George W. Harris is editor-in-chief. The Baltimore Times, heretofore one of the ablest of the Bull Moose organs, has declared for Taft and Sherman. The editor, Eugene L. Macheth, a graduate of Harvard thirteenth grade, responsible owner is Harry T. Pratt, of the Baltimore public schools. Gurley Brewer, the versatile editor of the Indianapolis World, one of the race's foremost orators and logicians, has taken the stump for Taft and Sherman in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. He has been named as second vice-president of the National Negro Press Association. Looking into the future, Gen. Joseph L. Jones, editor of the Pythian Monitor, has suggested that will cease to be a sidewalk to the National Negro Business League, but will soon equal it, if the plans suggested by those present are carried out." Dr. Booker T. Washington's new work, "The Man Farthest Down," has been issued from the press of Doubleday, Page & Co., Garden City, New York. It is one of the very best of the "Wizard's" series of books on observations and should be read by our people throughout the entire country. . . . Cary B. Lewis, the race's greatest correspondent in the Middle West, reported the Atlanta meeting of the B. M. C. and C. W. C. in Chicago on April 10, 1964, old home in Louisville en route to Chicago his present headquarters, was a continuous ovation. Mr. Lewis is doing some excellent work on the Freeman and on the Chicago dallies. "Sylvester Russell's Review," a magazine devoted to the theatrical news, dramatic criticisms, political features and advertisements, made its appearance in Chicago. It is edited by Sylvester Russell, acknowledged to be the race's foremost writer on the theatrical themes. The magazine bears a healthy look and enters auspiciously upon what should be a long and prosperous life. Charles Summer Smith, editor of the Twin City Star at Minneapolis, Minn., is a veteran of the Spanish-American war, and a member of the National Negro League yellow fever nurse. He is a native of Petersburg, Va., and gained his first newspaper experience on the Virginia Lance. Mr. Smith was elected president of the National Negro Press Association at the recent convention at Chicago. The international character of the N.N. Press Association is indicated in President Thompson's appointment of a number of out-of-the-country newspaper men as members of the association's executive committee. Haiti is represented by Dr. H. W. Furniss; Hawaii, by Chass. A. Cottrill; Canada, by Clifford C. Mitchell; West Africa, by Bishop I. B. Scott; Cuba, by John S. Durham; Madagascar, by James G. Carter, and Nicaragua, by James W. Johnson. Mrs. Sarah G. Jones, a brilliant writer and progressive thinker, conducts an interesting and informing department of "Of Interest to Women" in the Pythian Monitory-six years, "Mrs. Jones for the Queen City, and wears a handsome gold medal presented to her as a mark of recognition of her long and efficient service in the arena of education. She is a leading factor in the work of the Ohio Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Roscoe Conkling Simmons has assumed the editorial tripod on the Illinois Chronicle, the Banker. D. Neighbors is the publisher, Simmons is making the Chronicle scintillate in a manner that makes the oldest inhabitants of Chicago sit up and take notice. The "Windy City" is the place for a journalistic genius of Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the wish of his friends everywhere that he stick there until the Master calls him higher. We shall read the Chronicle from now on with renewed interest and enthusiasm because of Brother Simmons' connection therewith. The Chicago convention of the National Negro Press Association unanimously endorsed the Afro-American page sent out by the Press Association and commended the efforts of N. B. Dodson as its editor. The full text of the resolution was as follows: "Resolved, That the National Negro Press Association express its appreciation to the American Press Association, of New York City, for its service to the Negro press of the country through the Afro-American page, edited by M. Barnett Dodson, of that city, and that we heartily endorse said Afro-American page, all editors of race papers to use this service. Mr. Dodson was elected chairman of the executive committee of the Press Association and will exert himself to make organization a virile force in the journalistic life of the colored people of the land. The Chicago Defender has secured the services of W. Allison Sweeney as a special write-up man and political reviewer for its columns. The Defender could not have found an abler man anywhere in the services of this work. Mr. Sweeney belongs in the veteran class with Fortune, Mitchell, Pelham Perry and Steward, but he has kept not only abreast, but is really ahead of the times, and will put over some new and improved business of handling news, opinion and criticism (Richard Sweeney has a rich fund of historical facts to draw upon at all times, is a master hand in the manipulation of an inexhaustible vocabulary, and is a logical and forceful thinker upon all of the issues of the hour. In addition to his work, he continues the preparation of his book on the "Progress and Achievements of the Negro People." AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL Mr. and Mrs. Irving Russell are very happy over the arrival of a fine baby boy at their home. Mrs. Molly Smock was called to the city on account of the death of her brother, Mr. Howard. The Students Bulletin appeared with four pagee. Mr. Otto Steele is editor. Mrs. Agus Boyd and daughter arrived from Chicago, where they have been for a few weeks. Messrs. Samuel and Churchal Johnson, of Lexington, accompanied by their sister, Miss Florence, and Mr. Samuel Johnson, Sr. of Louisville, were called to the city on account of the death of their uncle, Mr. M. Butcher. Rev. Nellie G. Haled and Rev. Polk, lady evangelists, are in the city doing good work among our people. Miss Sadie Parent arrived in the city from Louisville. Mr. Charles Juniper is very ill. Mr. John Stone and Miss Corine Richie spent a day in Lexington this week. Mrs. Carrie Marshall, of Louisville, was the guest of her cousin, Mrs. B. E. Ellis, in Bell Point. Miss Maggie Deadmond and Willie M. Steele, of Louisville, passed through the city en route to Midway. Mr. M. H. Harrison, state grand master of the Mosaic lodge, is making a remarkable progress. He has already set up an order for women and is now setting up a men's department. This is one of the best Negro lodges in the United States. Mr. Tom Smith, one of the best known dog trainers, hunters and fishermen, says that he is the best season for this kind of sport. Mr. Smith's opinion is generally accepted by the people. Prof. S. M. Taylor, of Winchester, was a guest of the city this week. Taylor theater is having a nice run of business with its home talent performers and singers. The theater is located in the Odd Fellow building. The dancing class, was instituted in the Odd Fellow hall Saturday afternoon. Mr. J. B. Harris is the dancing master. Mr. John Williams is very sick. Mr. John H. Johnson, author of "The Messenger of the Age," has recently written a poem dedicated to Jim Johnson, who has overgone a tragic ocean for his life. Mr. Lee, of Chicago, was in the city this week the guest of Miss Willie H. Thomas. Misses Christine Searcy, Frances Rominson and Mary Baxter will spend Sunday in Lawrenceburg. Mr. George B. Harris and Miss Sallie Gudgle, of Lawrenceburg, spent a few days in Lexington. Major Norton, a very popular young man of this city, will give a four-day house party at the residence of his mother on Morro street, beginning October. The guest will be Josephine Davis of Louisville. The guests will be messes. V. Ervin, of Richmond; George Barr, of Danville; Miss Lacille Bradford, of Danville. The first night Mr. L. R. Diggs will entertain them at the second night they will be entertained at the home of Mrs. August Morton. The third night will consist of an evening party with friends. The fourth night will be the occasion of the evening. During the time they will be occupied by taking joy rides and visiting their friends. A mass meeting was held at the First Baptist church. A large crowd attended. This meeting was held for the benefit of the public school, and to enlighten the students, according to the laws of the state. Rev. W. T. Silvey was elected president, and Dr. E. Underwood secretary. Prof. William H. Mayo, principal of the Clinton High school, said the pecuniary should be stricter in sending their children to school; and if they would, the board of trustees would do more for them. Gen. W. W. Wilson and P. W. Williams both emphasize the opportunity assisted teachers. A committee was appointed to divide the city into thirteen districts and to take the census, this to be given to the board in asking for another school. Messrs. B. K. Robb, L. T. Brooks and B. K. T. Wiley, L. T. Brooks and Dr. E. Underwood and several others spoke in behalf of this city. Rev. E. J. Jackson, rector of the Rev. E. J. Baptist church, was called to Hirshleigh and addressed the club of which Mrs. L. Robinson is president. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph gave him a reception while he was in the city. The eyes of the city are upon the investigating committee as to what they are going to do. Woman suffrage seems to be raging in the city. THE YOMA NEWS ABENCY—GET PAPERS FROM YOUR HOME.

The citizens of Rawlings, Wyoming, one will think, feel that their trouble dates with the hanging of a Negro in the prison. Captain Young, the only Negro graduate of West Point, has been promoted to the rank of major in the U. S. army. He is now in Liberia, the African republic. Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the Treasury, was in the city last Monday on his way to Cincinnati, Ohio. While here he dropped in the Freeman office. He is satisfied with the political outlook, which he thinks is favorable to Mr. Taft. Moving picture films are now available in Germany for anatomical, biological and bacteriological courses, and the manufacturers are confident that an enormous field for their products will be opened up when educators fully realize the value of moving pictures in education. A traveling school of domestic science has been instituted in the department of Yonne, France. The school will make a stay of three months in every commune where an attendance of fifteen is guaranteed. Similar itinerant schools for domestic science exist in Ireland. Woodrow Wilson has cancelled his speaking engagements owing to the illness of Mr. Roosevelt. He said that he had no desire to be in the field without an antagonist. Mr. Taft long since concluded not to do any campaigning in his own behalf by way of speech making. The shooting of Mr. Roosevelt was a deplorable happening. It will be something fearful to think of, if, after our long years of comparative quiet, we finally break out as our southern neighbor republics do, every few years, with murder as a part of the presidential succession. "I am the state!" exclaimed Richelieu, of France, when vexed. And he was of goodly qualities in the main, but even in that country he was not the whole show; at least the king was in the calculation. Mr. Roosevelt may have fair meanings to his actions, but yet he impresses one with the notion that way down in his heart of hearts he has also said "Letat C'est mol." Children in the public schools of Stavanger, Norway, are treated with the aid of American dental apparatus by a dentist who received his postgraduate dental education in the United States. This year two rooms were fitted up as dental clinics. Twice during the school year the children are to have their teeth examined. If any defects are found, the dentist will hand to the child a card to take home to the parents asking their consent to treatment, the work to be done for the child free of charge. The $80 children in the first grade whose teeth are under observation this year will continue to be treated when they pass into succeeding grades, so that eventually the plan will spread automatically to the entire school system. The dental rooms are open every day, 9 to 11 a. m. for boys, and 3 to 5 p. m. for the girls. Richard Carroll, of Columbia, S. C., was in the city this week, attending the thirty-sixth annual meeting of the American Humane Association. Mr. Carroll was assigned a place on the program, his subject being "Conditions of Unfortunate Children in the South." He also made an address in place of Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana, who found it impossible to attend the meeting. Mr. Carroll is interested in all humane work, whether it pertains to man or animal. He is of large sympathies, and which dominate his being, thus voluntarily enlisting in the cause of the well nigh helpless. In the sessions of the society this week he was heard in behalf of the cow, the quail, as well as in the behalf of unfortunate Negro children. He is versatile and fluent, eloquent and earnest, winning his audiences, which are mainly intellectual white people. Mr. Carroll is of distinction at his home. He is editor of the "Plowman," a weekly publication; a minister of the gospel and a humane lecturer. He has done very much chautaqua work and there is a constant demand for his services. This week information comes that many prisoners in the Wyoming prison at Rawlings, broke out of the institution, some making good their escape. Quite a number were overtaken and returned to the prison. The facts are worth knowing face of what happened there about twelve or fifteen days ago. It will be remembered that this is the prison in which a Negro met his death after seeking it as a place of safety against the fury of an outside mob. To express it homely, he jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. The prisoners on learning of the charge of criminal assault against the Negro took up the work promptly. The Negro's neck was broken by being thrown from an elevation of the rotunda of the main building with a rope around his neck and attached at the other end to some part of the building. We said at the time that crime in prison was crime just the same, and was subject to the same processes of the law. It appears that some sort of justice has already set in. For while quite a number of the prisoners have escaped there is the turmoll, and there is the ruction, and the trail of death. Society has been disturbed, shocked, compelling the citizens to think of a hanged Negro as the probable cause. So it is possible to have indirect ways of punishment; they do not, of course, answer the law's demand, but often this indirection, from the lesson taught, is quite as satisfying. This is going on the theory that where common justice falls through prejudice or inability to secure it, peculiar justice sometimes steps in and answers nearly as well. THE MILWAUKEE INCIDENT. Only a few persons we think will rejoice owing to the effort at Milwaukee to take the life of Theodore Roosevelt. The incident, we dare say, is greatly deplored by those against him as well as by those for him. In our government by the people the majority voice prevailing, violence should have no share as a determining factor in our affairs. The happening was a terrible one in itself, and more terrible when thought of in its relations, motive, actuation and the profound effect on civilization not only in this country, but everywhere. It is a lesson, and no less to Theodore Roosevelt than to his veriest opponents. Violence should not come into the minds of men in the course of campaigns. And it is our opinion that it will only be suggested when unusual methods are employed. Mr. Roosevelt is playing an unusual role for a presidential candidate; thus he invites unusual criticisms. He plays for the chair of George Washington as a monarch playing for a throne. The bitterness of the campaign is due to him who should have stepped aside in the interest of the candidacy of another and thus keep faith with our institutions of the people. It was an unfortunate shot that was fired by John Shranke, demented as he may be. We, however, do not run to the sickly mentality, that the shot will make him President. Conditions have not changed. Mr. Roosevelt is clearly wrong on several counts. He faunts in the face of the republic his third term tradition indifference as if it were heroism to break through established forms. It may be sometimes, but not when the form is a bulwark of safety to our democratic-republican institution. A THRIVING INSTITUTION. The Alabama Penny Savings Bank at Birmingham, Ala., will soon go into its new home which is a steel re-inforced bank building of six stories. It has a handsome front; looks good and substantial. The management advertises that it is one of the handsomest banking houses in the South, regardless of the color of the owners. In fact, the building would appear mean in no city in the country. Twenty-two years ago the business started in a rented room. The officers served without pay. The growth has been rapid and certain until the splendid condition presents, speaking in praise of race endeavor, demonstrating the possibility of the oneness of action and testifying to managerial integrity. W. R. Pettiford, who stands at the head of the organization, has become largely known owing to his financial ability. When Negro banks are the theme his name is among those that lead. He is surrounded by a goodly array of officers who support him, we will say, in his suggestions for the betterment of the institution. The success reached in the twenty-two years says that these men have acted to gether, abiding by majority decisions, making in the end for the splendid institution. The officers are: B. H. Hudson, P. F. Clarke, J. O. Diffay, Rev D. P. Moore, Rev J. W. Goodgame, J. H. Jones, D. T. W. Walker, R. T. Jackson, Dr. A. M. Brown, H. M. Strickland, R. L. Mabry, P. M. Edwards, T. C. Windham and Lewis Jenkins. SENATOR BEÑJAMIN TILLMAN. Rev. Richard Carroll, of Columbia, S.C., who was attending the American Humane Association in the city this week, tells a good one from Senator Tillman on Indianapolis. He knows the senator very well; he has visited him in his home. He says that he spoke to the senator about going to Indianapolis. He answered by saying that the meanest "niggers" in the world live in Indianapolis." We've always maintained that we were a peculiar brand, but had not thought that we were meaner than other "niggers." Guess we've handed the senator some hot ones from time to time, but he will remember that he has put some good ones over himself. He felt that it was his special mission to take the "niggers" in hand when he got in the senate, and he did, as every one knows. But he found out that he was not the only prodder in the business. But as bad as we viewed him he had some good traits. All men of the kind do. They run from one extreme to another. Add the two and dividing we get after all the average man. We mean to say that his bad deeds are balanced by the good. Mr. Carroll tells of a monument the senator is erecting to the old Negro who was in his service for forty years. During these years he was boss, and if anything was doing about those premises it had to come through this faithful old black servitor. Not many are building monuments to Negro servants. We mean "niggers" of Indianapolis are not so mean as to overlook a good thing. D'ye get that, Senator? THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND RECALL. The talk of initiative, referendum and recall did not spring from the people. Even at this time with all of the drilling they have had on the subject they know but very little about them and care less. If they were of necessity, however, long ere this they would have known all about them. It is complimentary to the people and to the governmental condition which in the conduct does not oppress as the politicians would have it that they know nothing about those political barbarisms. The people have no grievances that arise from dereliction of duty in a general way on the part of our representatives in office, or owing to usurpation of authority. Of course, there are forward movements of reform, but all are interested, legislator and lay citizen, each one of whom is subject to the weal and woe of the country, hence equally zealous in guarding that which assures the best for all. The officer of today is the citizen of tomorrow. Such an alternate citizenry precludes the possibility of corrupt government excepting perhaps, official peulation, which is individual dishonesty and to be crushed out as it is in well regulated business establishments. When we are wronged by the officials, when we are wronged by the legislators we know how to get redress without resorting to extra judicial remedies, and which, to be administered by the people, as a whole, thus undermining stable government through distrust and jealousy of our representatives. Republics evolve from democracies, the first being a more convenient form of the latter. To attempt to reduce again to a democracy is foolish, absurd and above all, impracticable. The polling places are the judgment seats of the people. No one knows this better than the legislators, judges and other officials. Had they inclination to wrest the government from the people, setting up so many oligarchies as a consequence, they would come to their senses quarterly, or sooner, when the people meet at their polling places. And if between terms the unusual happened, we are not without recourse. So the new old safe guards are not in it with what long since have been introduced into our laws, giving us that autonomous form of government that is nearly frictionless, and hence the very best. COLONEL ROOSEVELT SHOT. Great Confusion—His Assailant Is Against a Third Term. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 14—Marked for death at the hands of a maniacal fanatic, Col. Roosevelt narrowly escaped that fate tonight. He was shot and perhaps seriously wounded by a man who is believed to be John Schrank, formerly of New York. Schrank was arrested immediately and narrowly escaped lynching. The shot was fired close at hand, while Col. Roosevelt was standing in his auto in front of a hotel waving at the crowds anxious to see him off to the Auditorium where he was scheduled for a speech. "Speech" Saves Life. Pandemonium reigned when the would-be assassin fired at close range. Col. Roosevelt had on a heavy military overcoat, and his manuscript, spectacle case and other articles were in an inside pocket. The bullet struck him in the right breast, but the articles named deflected its course. The colonel did not realize he had been struck, and it was some time before he knew it. Even then he insisted on making his speech. Afterward he was rushed to the Emergency hospital where an X-ray examination was made. The surgeons located the bullet in the fleshy part of the breast, lodged in the chest wall, but said it did not penetrate the lungs. Their vrst statement was that the wound was superficial, and Col. Roosevelt left the hospital to take his special train for Chicago. The assailant, who at first refused to give his name, was seized immediately after his attempt and rushed to the police station, followed by an angry mob. He admitted his intention to kill Col. Roosevelt, and declared: "Any man looking for a third term ought to be shot." Papers found in his pockets indicated that the man undoubtedly is demented. He had a "proclamation" in which he asserted that the spirit of the late William McKinley had appeared to him twice in a vision and commanded that he avegien his (McKinley's) death. The vision, according to the crank's proclamation, declared that Roosevelt was McKinley's murderer and that no man who was a murderer should take the presidential chair. Against "Third Term." The would-be assassin is 5 feet 5 inches in height, weighs 170 pounds, light complexioned, bald, fairly well dressed. He confessed to the police that he fired the shot and made the remark: "Any man looking for a third term ought to be shot." A written proclamation found in the clothing of the man who did the shooting reads: "Sept. 15, 1912; Sept. 15, 1901, 1:30 a.m. "In a dream I saw President McKinley sit up in a monk's attire in whom I recognized Theodore Roosevelt. The President said, 'This is my murderer, avenge my death.'" "Sept. 12, 1912, 1:30 a.m., while writing a poem some one tapped me on the shoulder and said: 'Let not a murderer take the presidential chair. Avenge my death.'" "I could plainly see Mr. McKinley's features." "Before the Almighty God, I swear this above writing is nothing but the truth." "Third Term" Traitorous. Another note found in the man's pocket reads: "So long as Japan could rise to the greatest power of the world despite her surviving a tradition more than 2,000 years old, as Gen. Nogi so nobly demonstrated, it is the duty of the United States of America to uphold the third term tradition. "Let every third-termer be regarded as a traitor to the American cause. Let it be the right and duty of every city." zen to forcibly remove a third termer. Never let a third-term party emblem appear on the official ballot. "I am willing to die for my country. God has called me to be his instrument, so help me god. (Signed) "INNOCENT GUILTY." ("Written in German, a strong tower is our God.") DISCUSSING EVIL INFLUENCES. A Distinguished Visitor Among Us Negro for County Commissioner at Lexington, Ky. (By Lee L. Brown, 1006 West Chestnut Street. Home Phone City 4511.) LOUISVILLE, Ky., Special. The local races are about to shift to the famous track at Latonia, Ky. Mr. and Mrs. Skidmore Bloomer have returned to the city after a very pleasant visit to Chicago. Lincoln Institute was dedicated Wednesday morning before a large crowd of visitors. There were appropriate exercises. Quite a number of persons from a distance were on the program. Next Sunday there will be services at the new Quinn Chapel by the Y. M. C. A. services the audience will be invited to inspect the new building now in course of erection. Rev. J. C. Anderson, who has served the congregation of Quinn Chapel for five years, preached his farewell sermon last Sunday morning. Rev. Anderson left after the annual conference is in session. He is a most excellent man and has been a leading light in this community. We all regret to see such an excellent man leave with a beautiful gold cross by the members of the choir. The colored night schools are now in good running order. It is reported that the attendance is up to the average. Last week a white man who conducts a saloon with a wine room attached in which drinks are served to colored peopie offices or to rake the edition of the newspaper offices to rake the edition of the newspaper News over the coals for having published a series of articles protesting against the conduct of his wine room. Among the many things he said was that when men of a certain dancing class from patronizing his place he would stop the dancing class. Just think of it, that the managers of this class are ruled entirely by the men of a certain dancing class that his wine room is a nice place for colored boys and girls to take a recreation. This saloon keeper was accompanied by Mr. Hogan, who conducts the Oldie who becomes notorious here of late on account of the shows that have been given there. Mr. Hogan was also insulted because he had been written up in the paper. The time has come when these vultures that are sapid of our boys and girls should be eliminated. Louisville would be far better if the Odd Fellows would revoke the lease of this theater and dance hall. The managers of our boys and girls should the situation if they would, but there is a power behind the scenes that directs every movement made. Rev. L. H. Brown preached his farewell sermon last Sunday. He is now attending the sessions of the annual conference. He should be commended for the excellent work that he has done, for him he will have handsome church building was secured. Politics are now commencing to wax warm in Old Kentucky. Very little money in gift and very little campaign speakers have passed this way. Louisville is highly honored this week by having a very distinguished guest in the person of Rev. George Hoagland, of Bloomington, Ill. It will be remembered that during the recent Negro Business Conference in 1971, during a meeting when he gave the narrative of himself which rea is like a novel. There were several columns of matter published in the daily papers. He is a Kentuckian with his a manufacturer of furniture polish and his a manufacturer of business a year. He is in our city as a representative to the Christian church, which is in session. We clip the following from one of the Lexington, Ky. dailies, which tells of Mr. Jordan Jackson, one of Lexington's most progressive colored men: Lexington, Ky. Oct. 13—(Special.) The candidacy of Jordan Jackson, the commissioner, which was announced last week and which Jackson is vigorously prosecuting, enthusiastically aided by other workers among his race, is causing considerable uneasiness among the white community, the leading promoters and advocates of commission government, who say that election throwback of their plans and hopes into an unsavory mess with the strong probability of there being a vociferous demand for the repeal by the next legislature, would be the government for this city. If he should gain the position of commissioner Jackson would be the first Negro officeholder REKLAW'S SUPERIOR TOOTH CLEANER. The finest in the world of its kind. I found nothing to equal it—C. W.

It is guaranteed to make the teeth perfectly white. As a rule when the dentist cleans the teeth he scrapes them and that takes the gloss of the ename, but this ename can also be uninjured. Nothing will add to the beauty of a young lady or gentleman more than a set of pretty white teeth. It is even more important of the fashion more than the clothes do. Agents wanted. Write today, Chas.

That he is thoroughly in earnest in his race and that his chances for election cannot be ignored is frankly admitted by the city. Jackson is a shrewd and energetic man who has quietly amassed a considerefortune without exciting the antagonist, and the city has Jackson for many years been in court with Booker T. Washington, "indeed, one of his cabinet, to speak, and that if the Wrowe of Lexington will follow him he will be elected." The police report that Negro clubs have been organized in every precinct of the city, the object of these clubs presumably being for the support of Jackson, as would a couple of the names the plot are changed with the casting of fifty votes, so that the illiterate members of his race will have great difficulty in enacting the one man for whom they desire. In the clubs to find and identify the name of Jordan Jackson in the long list. YOUNG MAN IN PRISON WANTS FIRST FRIEND. In the federal prison, at Leavenworth, Kan., is a young colored man who was sent there on the charge of white slavery. He pleaded not guilty, but was found guilty and sentenced for two years on the charge of September 1911. He is now eligible to parole. He has the right to say of himself: "My name is David H Harris, late of Cheyenne, Wyo. I am a young man, honest, sober and reliable, by trade a first-class barber and musician, and wish some reliable person to vouch for me. I am doing a light sentence at the federal prison, am now eligible for a parole and in case I pass the next parole board would like to have someone that would employ me and act as a first friend, desiring to loosen the town, and will be very thankful, Address 7785 U.

B. and Henrietta McWilliams, an Indianapolis couple, in "Red Feather," made good. The one-arm human snake made the folks open their amnesia.

PALACE THEATER, CHATTANOOGA, TENN The Griffin Sisters opened in the South at the Palace theater, Chattanooga, Tenn., for Manager Dudley and stormed the environs of managers from all over the southern district in Chicago to see the Griffin Sisters. Manager Dudley says the week the Griffin Sisters were there was the banner week of the house, which was booked for a return date of the Palace theater from Jacksonville, Fla., where they went after two successful weeks at Chattanooga. On the bill at the Palace theater for the weekend, 23 with the Griffin Sisters, was the Watts theater, a comedy acrobatic stunt, which terrorized the audience. These two boys should be the stars they are now the only colored acrobats left, since the retirement of the Toney Tri. Miss Margie Crossby scored heavily in all of her songs, which she put over with such grace that one could not help but be impressed that one theater will always be glad to have her songs way way. Manager Dudley will always give good acts the best houses in the South to see and not the smaller houses where they are not seen nightsight. All houses that Mr. Dudley will only require two shows nightly, as they have the capacity to prevent so many unnecessary shows which works the best for them. The team of Piper and Washburn also scored heavily with their wooden shoe dancing and comedy singing. The Savoy company, a new theater opened last week to offer its first theater is managed by G. R. Swords brother T. Swords, who was once the manager of the Little Ivy theater here. With the two houses and the four motion picture houses Crossby and the theatergoers will have all that they need to see blues. But when the people seek for a pleasant evening they always go to the theater, which was formerly the Grand theater, which was always welcome the Griffin Sisters. THE BLACK PATTI CO. Went Big in Little Rock Ark We played Little Rock, Ark., the 1st and 2nd, to large colored audiences. The people given over to colored people and the theater's appreciation by attending in large numbers. Jalius Glenn, as usual, took them by storm and it was the unanimous opinion of Little Rock the theatergoing public that he is the most popular of the shows he's getting on our southern time Glenn been a hit from the opening to the closing of the show. Sequin, with her sinuous movements, manages to bring into the good graces of everybody, keep the good work, Tillie. Alice Ramsey, the elongated comedienne, has been the sensation all along the line with her snaky, funny she is easily the Black Eva Tanquay. Al. F. Watts, as Major Drummond, the deed-yed villain, is getting more villainous at every performance. It seems that he has Watts to do any old part from Black Joe to eighty from those two to villain. You will yet hear of him being a successful manager one of these days. Mr. G. W. Turrant makes an admirable and debonair Captain with his dashing Steel Cash Watts and "Dream of the U. S. A." shows a fine baritone voice. Charles Cato Bougia, as Colonel Warsaw, portrays the part to perfection. Bourgia is at home in those elderly characters (nuf sed). For speaking with a dashing Steel Cash Watts will be the highlight of a cross-fire talking. James Peter Basso Heed should be termed the Abysmal, proximity, and then you have him in a class by himself. Madam S. Jones, the Black Captain, seems to grow younger. To hear him speak you were listening to her skirten years ago; the same voice and mannerisms, only a bit more matured; she has that rare gift that others of our race have not, personality, magnetism, poise, that is the reason she has stood the storm of the time still retains that beautiful and remarkable voice. Everybody seems to appreciate her singing more his songs, and that they have in several seasons, and that speaks well for everybody. Her popularity has been growing more and more among the whites, as they don't attend colored shows as a rule. They have been or are becoming educated to the fact that the Negro men and women performers can easily be something worth going to see and hear. Mr. Cooke, as a U.S. S.A. and a man, The show will be in Texas for a month and then start back East again. Everybody in the company doing well. Jeanette Murphy and her dancing girls, namely, Marie Hendricks, Johnny Livingston, Ada Donegan, Blanch Howell, Edith and Mamelle Rowe, are getting along fine in their poprayal of the Philippine girls. They intend to be a chance that I start a everybody when they get back East. Eddie Borden will be the Philippine king, with John Grant and John Phillips as voodoo kings. EASTERN THEATRICAL NOTES.

Jim Jackson, of Jacksonville, Fla., will meet Dick Gilbert, of Denver, Colo., at Jacksonville, October 20th. Jackson is also expected to meet Nate Leslie the Indiana heavyweight, if terms can be arranged. Stewall Jackson, the crack colored sprinter of Southern California, is being sought after by the colleges of that section, the University of Oslo, says every college wants him 'and if any of them has ever drawn the color line he will undraw it if he knocks at the door. He is a prize worth going after, for he showed in the national interscholastic meet at Chicago that he is the best high school sprinter in the country." KIB PHILLIPS, OF LOUISVILLE, CHALLENGES KID FIELDS. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 6.

FOOTBALLERS ARE GETTING TOGETHER. Four local teams will wrestle with the piketin this season, namely the Y. M. C. A. All-Highs, Columbia Giants and the "Hae Beens." The Columbia Giants will play a white team in this season as an opener of their schedule. From appearances at practice, the "T" has a strong team, and under the management of Edward Galliard, who managed the three-time state champion for locuscul team, the gold and black team prospects of a successful season. Stewart Elbert, at one time was looked upon as the best and fastest quarterback in the city, will manage the "Has Beens," an aggregation of former local gridiron stars. CINCINNATI VS. SPRUDELDS — FUTURE OF A. B. C.'S, OF INDIAN-APOLIS — JACK HONNSON HAD HIS BROTHER ARRESTED. (By Billy Lewis.) The Spruels, the crack baseball team of French Lick, Ind., had occasion to be considerably elated last week when they met the Cincinnati team of the National League. Of course, the Spruels were crowned with this case, is not the fact. The fact that they, the Spruels, a team of colored players, were recognized by the big leaguers is important. The same old thing of race prejudice has kept fine players of the Spruels on the court, and it is still keeping them out. Perhaps the fault can not be laid at the door of any one man, or any set of men. I am quite sure that the condition cannot be charged up with certainty to anyone but the Spruels account. It is hard when we all know that Indians, Japanese, or any other of the dark races can have representation on our greater clubs. In view of this fact it is something to have the Cincinnati team Lick, Lick, engage the Spruels. In spite of the hard conditions, the times in which we live and so forth, sport writers have from time to time broken their silence, saying the proper word, and heinously opposing the use of the term in his speech. The voice of praise long denied reminds me of the story of the American white man traveling in Norway. He had heard nothing for months before he heard him speaking and entered a bar in a certain town and to his surprise saw a Negro from the states, who, perhaps, had been stranded in that far off land. On seeing his colored countryman, and hearing him speaking and entering a bar in my country, the drinker Cocktails for two, my country's drink! Not that I love the culled cusk, for he has aweed all too much; But Oh! that Saxon tongue, like fountain found in desert wild." Here was the dead calm of custom, written in a language as the fingers of the hand, as Booker T. Washington loves to say by illustration, yet united for some purposes in fact; but essentially they are apart. Then to see the hands of the hands, as exhibiting to say the least. Well, the action of that league team may not be the prelude to better days, but who can tell? One blue bird does not establish a summer, but it makes better betting to see Managers interested in the success of their teams, doubledess, have considered Negro players as they have been presented to them from time to time. John J. McMeadow of the New York Giants, signed by the team, forced to relinquish his man owing to pressure of public sentiment. Rube Foster's American Giants of Chicago and the St. Louis Giants are filled with prize men. It is of these that the white sport writers written so many good things. They are more than compared with the very best of the big $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous deliberty, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame strains, brought on by excesses, unnatural stress, and a lack of self-control. I cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to reshape his many power and witility quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, or ordered envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of you and I am convinced it is the surestable combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that any them who is weak and discouraged with bereavement or druging himself with harmful patient medicines, secure what I believe is the spotting restorative, upbuilding, SPOTTING restorative, upbuilding, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: A. B. Robinson, 3831 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of Mich. and I will send you a ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescriptive like this—but I send it entirely free. leaguers. Managers grow sick at seeing so much talent unabsorbed. But what can they do? Absolutely nothing. And take it from me, that the veil of prejudice ulfft here only when it uplifts elsewhere, where it can be used to man, as we incidentally get one on in the stores and other places. Here is opportunity for speculation, but it will be better discussed in some other place. It climbs the ladder, and the Clinton team has been for good in a racial way. And I hope for more good than appears clear to see at this time. The Spruedls is such a splendid team that I must say something of it, especially of the manager, Captain Taylor. The men are orderly and under the control of the team, and such a disciplinarian that one can see it sticking out. But he is kindly, gentle, nevertheless insistent. There's that calm, earnest appeal which to disrespect would not be appropriate for the glory of the game; it is plain to see—and through all his train the soft infection ran." I heard him say to one of the players, "Never mind the batting, save your arm." The pitcher was on d-ck for the batter's stand. The manager would not have him exert himself. He spoke in undertone, as if to save the feelings of his men, yet he was not afraid of me. I could not say no. Taylor is just such a man; a born leader. pany—the American Giants, the St. Louis The Spruedts travel in pretty fast com- munications are its rightful class. The A. B. C's of theapolis, perhaps, should be mentioned also. The A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis have come up in the past few years. They now rank among the major colored teams which have been mentioned above. The personnel of the team, the individuals of the college basketball teams, points and weak points. But this at some other time, next year, perhaps, when the team will play in its new park. But I might say in passing, that there are a few of the A. B. C.'s, the very best playmen, but not too good to let one pass now and then; one of those hot grounders; and none too good to go after it post haste. The team is good as a whole; it can beat any of them once, outside of the professionals, is probably true in in his throwing. He delights in taking bee lines hot from the bat. Nothing is lost that belongs to his territory. But I said I would not attempt a description. There are other good ones; all are good. This Benny is best in my judgment. The genial Tom Bowser, the manager and proprietor of the A. B. C.'s, promises a bran new park for next season. As he prepares for the season, he for the present grounds has expired. It became necessary to look for about for a new home for the future. The continued increasing attendance justified the move for quarters. The season about to close will accounts has been most successful. Mr. Bowser is a white man. Of course, most of us feel that he could have been a colored man just as well. But the col- tors of the players do not have the nerve to take a chance, con- sequently it is as it is, and I must say, in all candor, that it is none the worse. He has proven a fine man for the place; the players like him, also the patrons. Apparently he will do big things next year. It is said that the elder Cato never finished a speech without the expression at the end. "Down with Carthage; it's in Latin. 'Delenda est Carthago.' Liberalism is not the best of things. It was noted that it is difficult to end a bit of sport melange without a reference to Champ Johnson. It will be understood that I don't mean down with Johnson, but the persistence of the Johnson name is not the best of things. Perhaps what must be said this week would be better unsaid. "Report has it that Johnson has had his brother Charles arrested for his habit of killing his brother Jack, constantly. Jack got tired of this thing of mistaken identity and had Charles haled up before a Chicago judge. This was last week. Jack had a bill of charges against him for the murder law. He had been to Jack's banker with checks that Jack had not signed. He gave I. O. U. with Jack's signature. He borrowed money on his automobile tires or something like that. There were other automobile mimes where in Charles he went a step too far when he tried to lay his hands on $3,000 worth of Jack's dead wife's sables. Jack quit him there. He had favored Charles in many ways, and together made the chamomile desperate. His mother and sister were in court; pleaded for mercy, but John Arthur was obdurate. What the fine was I am unaware of. What if Charles would languish in a Chicago bustle at least long enough to discover that he was not J. Arthur Johnson. If reports are to be called on, Champ Jack will not pligimate to the side of the equator to engage those two would-be redoutables, Sam Laugford and Sam McVea, who are hibernating there—Australia. The two Sams have been pounding away at each other for some time. The two States Sam, has been successful in the more recent encounters, driving the European Sam from the fields with colors a-trailing. True, both were made in America, but Laugford stalled. America is the worst of the world, for McVea is considerable the larger man, but he seems to have become innervated by the flow of continual cheer of one kind or another in his European home, where he is pampered and petted until, perhaps, he becomes the humane man he called. Our Sam the Spartan; reared in the rugged school of hard knocks and austerity, he has overcome the physical sloth, standing on his spiritual belly, and stood on the prostrate form of Gollath. Well, we'll see what we'll see when Jack stands at Ruschuter Bay, Sydney, where the triumvirate of the elect of Cestus will dispute for the iron crown of physical might. I imagine that the war god, Mars, will then resume his wonted sway, shriek the plains again as he did when Covetous Paris laid eyes on that fair prize which brought so much sorrow the world, and which it is yet lamenting. Speculation will be rife the world around as to which of the black gladiators will bear away the trophy until the war is over. We should own our Johnson stands before us like some huge Colossus, obscuring all else. We on this side do not think of him as in the sere and yellow leaf. He stands on the ground, and we see as Zeus stood above his satellites. More years are his, I think, to wield the secret, to dictate terms and declare whether there be peace or war in his realm. But we should not point, should insinculous deceptive THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER palsy his frame, the falling banner will be snatched up by another dusty battler, who could exclaim with the Negro solder of civil war: "She never touched the groun" A.

CHICAGO, Ill.—Jack Johnson, colored heavyweight champion pugilist of the world, admits he has once more heard the call of the golden lure and he is going to Langford and Sam McVea, two other colored heavyweight championship aspirants. He will depart from Chicago the latter will be with Langford and Sam McVea, two other colored heavyweight championship aspirants. He will depart from Chicago the latter will be with Langford, probably on boxing day, December 26. He agreed to terms with Hugh McIntosh's representative last week. He will draft of articles, Johnson is to receive $55,000 for his end of the big battles with Langford and McVea. In addition he will receive $5,000 for training expenses and will receive five dollars to Australia for members of his party. Forfeits of $10,000 to bind the matches will be posted with Al Tearney. The fights will take place in Sydney. As soon as Australia will be to Australia, Johnson will go to Paris, where he will meet Jim Flynn for the second time. He will demand a $30,000 purse for this fight. It is expected the details of the fight will be arranged before Johnson leaves for Australia. CHAMPION SALOP PAYNE GUESS WE'D BETTER GET OUR OWN DOIN'S. Way out West, where they do the "Grizzly Bear," according to report, they have learned to do some other things also. At Toppenish, Yakima Indian Reservation, Wash., not long since, was a big fete. It was one of those Western orgies, we may say, that will not submit to description. A publication speaking of the event had as follows: "World famous cowboys have crowded the city, among them being Jason Stanley, of Cheyenne, Wyo., champion roper and fancy rider; Malcolm Gaunt, of Toppenish, youngest broncho buster in Washington; Dell Blanchet, champion buckaroo, from Oklahoma; Bertha Blancett, trick rider; Blanche McGoughey, trick rider from Texas, and Roy Robbins, the cowboy poet from California. Indian riders of fourteen tribes are here." The publication also said: "Owing to a new rule that was made to-night by the association, all colored men and women are eliminated from the contests, while the whites will not be expected to contest with full-blood Indians, who will have their own part of the program. Half-breeds and others of mixed blood will compete with the white cowboys." Well, we guess it was their own fete, and therefore they could do as they saw fit. Of course, the point is that everybody else was expected except the Negroes. This action, we venture to say, was due mostly to prejudice, if not altogether. There is a lesson in the event for the race, for the Negroes, who seem bent on breaking in on some one else's affairs, rather than trying to do things for themselves. We say this in the face of the fact that we are now doing things, many good things. The disposition, nevertheless, clings, making it apparent that we do some things because we have to do them. This is noted; consequently we do not gain the proper respect of ourselves, nor win it of others. The Indian has not proven a model in conduct. He has, however, shown this: that he thought himself as good as any one else. He has shown this in his actions just like the Japanese have shown it. If there's any walking of the floor concerning them, the others have got it to do. Our race will have to get a little more of the spirit. We do not have in mind impudence. We have an overstock of that. We mean independence, manliness, racial integrity, individual integrity; so that when our label is writ it will not be necessary for us to dictate it.

No production of its kind probably can boast of a collection of comedians, singers, dancers and fun makers, than are to be found in this unique offering. The play literally teams with all the ingredients that provoke in-situ the production and help to pull care to the tall doldrums. From the time the curtain rises until the show is over, mirth of the enduring brand is always on tap. There is not a dull moment and surprises after surprises crowd each ither until the auditor is perplexed what to expect next. The piece contains an excellent plot and the entire company is now in the stage. The show is cast is composed of James Burris, Henry Troy, Arthur Talbot, Roley Gibson, Bessie Payne, Lottie Grady and others. In the way of liting and tuneful music there is nothing to be desired. "Doctor Beans" is one of those fellows one is sure to meet in the everyday walks of life. It is a sort of ne'er-do-well after the fashion of the day. The show is pelted to admire his nerve, nevertheless. He professes to be able to heal the sick but what he really does is to puncture their pocketbooks, but he does it in such a manner so as to not leave any traces of criminal intent. As Mr. Dudley interprets him he immediately becomes a man who is a man who is not a man who is being in the way of him. In doing it from any single angle one may choose to, the show is easily in a class by itself. A JUST PLEA. Mr. James M. Holt is the defending attorney in a replevin cause of Wheeler Bros. vs. Scott.

Editor of Freeman: Dear Sir—Billy McClain, amusement director at the Indiana theater, wishes you to inform the public through your theatrical column that he regrets very much that his opening night was not as successful as he would have desired, but owing to the fact that the company that he had engaged was not satisfactory, he was compelled to dismiss them. As the company was so highly recommended to him he felt satisfied that they would fill the bill. Mr. McClain apologized to the audience and gave back the money to those who wanted it and tickets to those who wanted to see the show the following night, as he put in a white company for the rest of the week, and he left for Chicago a few days ago to look over the field and anything that lay outside of him and that will please the public he will engage for the future, as it is his sole intention to give them the best, and when he finds he cannot, he will immediately cancel, as his reputation was built upon giving the public their money's worth, and when he sees he cannot, he will not take it, so you can take it from me that when his name is up, you either get your money's worth or your money back, and nothing fairer than that can come from any man. Yours as before. BILLY McCLAIN. AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL. Hon. Jordon Jackson for Commissioner ..at Lexington—Mothers' Meeting at Baptist Church—Jubilee Day at State Normal—Political Factions—K. N. & I.
